has the republican party really moved farther and farther to the right?
Most republicans I know are business people interested in lower taxes and can really care a rats arse about the right wing.

Ha Ha Ha!

Can it get worse for the GOP?

Jim,
I actually don't know, however that's who you know. there is a push for the 'moral' (religious) right in the Rish-inian movement, but not translating to actual offices held...

maybe his policies have slowly shifted? :huh: and he just realized it?

He's moved over to the left where he belongs. Idiot. Now he can get to the bottom of this Pats cheating thing.

"I'm putting principal at the top of the list."

Ha, he's doing what politicians do best, anything to win another term.

He has sold himself to the devil.

Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets.

Yep, Self Preservation, his state is shifting way to the left and would be hard for him as a Republican. Good Luck to the guy that runs against him in 2010!

He's a clown. He can't get elected otherwise. He was right about one thing though, there seems to be little room for moderates.

I have a problem w/politicians switching parties mid term. While in my mind your suppose to vote for the candidate based on his views, in actuality most people vote for the party affiliation.

The other thing, what is the difference if he's a repub. and he's voted w/the dems. on the bigger issues and vice versa.

Paul, is that true? Do most people vote based on party? Dont know, just asking.

I don't have a problem with it because people should be voting strictly on his political views, not the R- or D- at the end of his name.

I do have a problem with is that I'm sure his political philosophy hasn't changed yet now more Dems will vote for him and fewer Repubs - just because of party affiliation.

Just one more reason I don't think the politically uneducated should be allowed to vote.

I think a very high % of people do. They prob. look at the one issue that they think is most important to them (God, $ - taxes, the economy, the war, etc.) and vote a straight party line based on the who they think represents their point of view best. Not suppose to happen that way, but I think it does.

He switched because he knows he was going to lose in the primary next election because the Republican voters wouldn't vote for him. If he runs as a Democrat, he runs unopposed in the primary and then will win the general election. It's simple. Maybe now, he can get Congress to spend more time and money on investigating the Patriots Superbowl win over the Eagles, since there seems to be unlimited funds for personal crusades with these politicians.

He even said that he's not prepared to have his 29 year record in the senate decided by the Penn. Repub. primary electorate.

A real "man of the people".

"I certainly wouldn't want the people who elected me to this cushy job for 29 years to have any say in when I have to leave".

What a clown.:rotflmao:
